At the beginning of winter.

The evening breeze is slightly cool, and the moonlight is bright.

Lu Xuan knelt in the ruins for a long time, and after realizing that the other party had gone away, his nerves that had been tense relaxed at this moment, and with it, the pain and exhaustion hit his brain together, making his consciousness become a little sluggish.

"Can't sleep, can't sleep...."

"What if they turn back?"

With the desire to survive, Lu Xuan forcibly supported his tired body, slowly stood up, and groped around his body for a long time before he found the elixir in the bamboo tube.

After taking the pill, Lu Xuan held his breath and stood in place for a long time before he felt that his energy had recovered a little, and he had enough strength to control this body.

Driven by his thoughts, two white and somewhat frightening eyes filled into the hollow sockets, making his vision brighten again.

Looking at the ruins around him, whether it was a house or a previous difficult evil, they were all destroyed by him or the heavenly immortals in the battle just now, and the current village is probably a dead place.

Lu Xuan dragged his tired body towards the outside of the house, and to his surprise, these villagers were not killed by the heavenly immortals as he imagined, but stood in place in various postures.

Vigilantly, he stepped forward to investigate, only to find that the villagers were all that was left of an empty shell.

Lu Xuan was sure that these villagers were dead, but it was a little different from death in the usual sense.

He broke the villagers' eyelids, and only the whites of those eyes remained, and with a slight push, the whole person fell to the ground like a stake.

"Those flies are nourished by the souls of the wronged, and the souls of these villagers must have been sucked away by the heavenly immortals."

Seeing the walking dead in front of him, perhaps because he had experienced too much, Lu Xuan's heart didn't have half a bit of turmoil, but he just felt a little sad.

In such a world, life itself is a luxury.

There is a lot of dead air in the village now, and it stands to reason that the sooner you leave, the better.

But Lu Xuan didn't leave in a hurry, he was going to find Jiang Liu'er's body.

He knew that the time for Qing Zai to peel off Jiang Liu'er's skin should be when he went to the village temple.

The two people who Jiang Liu'er went to lure away before should be the people of the heavenly immortals, but unfortunately they should have been discovered by the other party halfway, so that they were skinned and used to deceive themselves.

It's just that Lu Xuan can't figure it out is that Qing Zai is just wearing Jiang Liu'er's human skin, why can he drive Gu worms?

Could it be that she is not only wearing skin, but also other people's memories and spells?

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan shuddered a little, it was really evil to be able to do this.

Unconsciously, Lu Xuan had already come to the outside of the village temple, and the flute was a Gu worm that was drawn out of the temple before, so he concluded that Jiang Liu'er should be in the temple, but he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

If he is still alive, it can be regarded as making him owe him a favor, and he may be able to get some useful information from him about Zhaozhao in the future.

As soon as he walked into the village temple, Lu Xuan heard a faint shout before he could inspect the situation inside: "Mr. Lu, is it you?" ”

Listening to this somewhat familiar voice, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the village temple was already empty, and the clay statue of Bajie had long since not known whether it had escaped or been destroyed, so he followed the sound and found Jiang Liu'er lying in the corner.

At this time, he has long lost the vigor that a young man should have.

Jiang Liu'er's skin was peeled off by Qing Zai, and before she got close, she could smell a pungent smell of blood, and it looked like a pool of red flesh and blood from a distance, looking at Lu Xuan, who was looking at this scene, just said: "You are lucky, you are still alive." ”

"Ahem, I didn't think I would survive, after they threw me into the temple, the evil in the temple ran to fight you, I wanted to remind you to come, but it hurt too much, I passed out all of a sudden, or just ....."

Seeing that Jiang Liu'er still wanted to continue to explain, Lu Xuan poured out a pill from the bamboo tube and said softly: "Don't say it yet, I'll take you away." ”

After giving Jiang Liu'er the pill, Lu Xuan picked him up and left the village temple.

It's not early, it's almost dawn.

Carrying a person with no skin on his back would obviously cause some unnecessary trouble, so Lu Xuan had no choice but to find a house as a place for two people to rest.

Jiang Liu'er, who had a chance to breathe, did not practice immediately, but lay on the bed and barely squeezed out a smile:

"Mr. Lu, your elixir is really useful, but after a while, part of my essence has returned."

Lu Xuan didn't talk to Jiang Liu'er about the Langyuan Fairyland Pill in detail, but saw that he didn't care about being skinned at all, so he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about who the person who attacked you just now?" Don't want to seek revenge on them? ”

"Ahem...."Because the injury was too serious, Jiang Liu'er coughed up blood from his mouth again, wiped the corner of his mouth with his arm, and then grinned and said, "I can actually guess that those people should have come to Mr. Chong." ”

Neither of them is stupid, and the joints of the matter can be easily figured out, so Lu Xuan didn't mean to lie, so he nodded and admitted: "It's true that they came for me, and I originally wanted you to owe me a favor, but now it seems that I owe you a little bit." ”

"No matter what the reason, Mr. saved me after all, and I also asked Mr. to stay, otherwise it would be ......" Jiang Liu'er's voice was extremely weak, and he paused and continued: "It's all about this favor, and the kid will repay Mr." ”

Lu Xuan sat on the bench and didn't reply, just thinking about when he would be able to go back to Liu Xianyuan and find Zhaozhao after finishing the matter here, but Jiang Liuer broke the silence again:

"Mr. Lu, can you tell the kid who they are?"

Seeing that Jiang Liu'er seemed to have the intention of revenge, Lu Xuan became a little interested, turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Have you heard of the Heavenly Immortal?" ”

"Heavenly Immortals?" Jiang Liu'er's brows furrowed slightly: "What Mr. Lu said is, drive away people's desires and cultivate my heavenly immortals?" ”

"Huh? Do you know them? ”

"Well, they have a lot of skills, I've heard the elders in the family say it." Jiang Liu'er replied: "A hundred years ago, it even subverted a country, a big country that looked down on the world. ”

"Subvert the country!"

Lu Xuan was a little surprised, after traveling to three countries, he clearly knew that there were monks who defended the imperial power in both large and small countries.

Therefore, it is easier said than done to subvert a country.

Take the Great Jin as an example, there are several forces in the world that will be the opponent of the True Spirit Sect, let alone subvert this country?

The most important thing is that Lu Xuan has fought with several people from the Heavenly Immortals, and he doesn't think they have such power.

Unexpectedly, the words that made Lu Xuan even more shocked were still behind, and he only heard Jiang Liu'er say slowly: "What the specific situation is, the kid is not very clear, but I heard from outsiders that there were hundreds of heavenly immortals in the palace at that time who slaughtered the royal family, but the elders in the family said that they were actually only six people." ”

"Six?"

"Yes, the others are not heavenly immortals at all!"
